UL - User-defined Line Type

UL [

] [,

[...,]] [;]

i ; unit type

g : gap length

• This command allows you to define line types which you can then subsequently select with the LT

command.

• i must be in the range 1-8. i identifies the line type that is to be defined.

• The index parameter uses absolute values.

• g (the gap length) alternately specifies pen up and pen down parts of the defined line type. A maximum of

twenty line sections are permitted, the first of which is a pen down section. Numbers must be integers in

the range 0~32767. These numbers are converted to percentages by the LT command.

• Maximum definition for the gap of each line type is 20.

• The sum of the gap parameters must be greater than 0.

• Specifying an index number with no gap parameters sets the line type to the default pattern for that index

number.

• Using the command with no parameter sets all line types to the defaults.
